SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 239,657, dated April 5, 1881.

' Application filed January 11, 1881. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern Be itkuown that I, H. HELLENBERG, of the city of New York, county of New York, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cards for Holding Neckwear Having Bands Attached Thereto; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a clear and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification. The object of my invention is to produce a card for holding neckwear, provided with a band in such a manner that the said neckwear is prevented from becoming accidentally removed while being carried about or shown.

The invention will be understood as set forth in the following description and claim.

Referring to the drawings, Figure I is a front View of the card embodying my invention, and Fig. II a sectional view of the same.

A represents the card, which maybe of any material and size, as required.

B are the support pieces or hooks struck out from the card-board. These support-pieces are curved on their outer edges, 0, so as to hold the band D of the bow or scarf G more firmly to the hook or support pieces, for the band will be pinched between the edge 0 and the card proper ath. The inner edges, 2', of the support-pieces are slanted inward in order to give greater space between the ends of the edges at m. This gives the supportpiecesor hooks a firmer hold upon the card.

The inside of the hooks B being sloped, as shown at 1', gives greater strength to the hooks. It is evident-that if this side of thehook were straight the weight of the tie would pull the hook out from the card and bend it down; but

- weak.

The above arrangement forms a cheap, simple, and practical card for holding neck bows and scart's. It enables the bow or scarf to be shown to the best advantage. It also enables the name of the bow or scarf, printed on the inner surface, a, of the band D, to be seen without removing the bow or scarf.

I am aware that card-racks have been made having books out directly from the card-board, having straight sides, and also inthe form of a star; and, also, that cardracks have been known having curved hooks formed of metal and attached thereto, andI do not claim such, as the curved outeredges and broad bases of my hooks render them different.

What I do claim is- The herein-described card for holding scarfs, having the double row of hooks B struck from the card-board, with inward curves on their outer edges, 0, and with their inner edges, 6, slanted inward, thus forming the broad base m, and also with their tops rounded, whereby the hooks are adapted to easily receive and securely hold the scarf and have a firm connection with the card proper, as shown and set forth.

HERMAN HELLENBERG.
